Dear Mireille and family. We are very sorry for your (and all of our) loss. Marcell was a much loved fraternity brother. He was a very nice and very intelligent guy. Enjoyed seeing he and you at the Mashpee musters.

To our dear friend Mireille and family. Sharon and I are so sorry for you and so greatly saddened at the news about Marcel. Over the years since our WPI days we have been fortunate to get together with you and Marcel in Chicago and at the musters. Each time it was a pleasure and a joy. He'll be missed by all of us. To me he was a mentor at college, a fraternity brother forever, and a friend. Our sympathies and our prayers are with you.
Love, Vic and Sharon Maroni

Dear Mireille and family, It is with great sadness that I write this note to you. We did not know that Marcele was ill. We are so thankful to have had the opportunity to get reacquainted and really get to know Marcele over the past few years at the annual "Muster" on the Cape. He was one of our most enthusiastic supporters and one of the first to call and say that you were coming.
With Deepest Sympathy, Colette and Walt

From the time Marcel was a customer to the time we worked together, Marcel was always a class act. Always a gentlemen and a pleasure to be with. His co-workers and friends will miss Marcel.

Marcel, I considered you a good friend and I am going to miss our lunches together. It was only two months ago we met a JJ'S and now you are gone. I will miss you my friend.
